This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thanks for the info, but I loved A Deepness in the Sky for the images and characters, and didn?t even notice the politics.  In any case, Vinge Is not right-wing in the sense of wanting the government to require prayer in the public schools.

Vinge is anarcho capitalist: the state will dissolve when private companies provide the same services cheaper. Almost all his novels include some sort of private security or private military. A Deepness in the Sky is, in my opinion, the single best libertarian novel ever.
